International Forestry Review Vol. 14, No. 4, 2012
Publication Code:
CoP024
Two ACIAR-funded forestry projects in Vanuatu have researched the growth and management of whitewood (Endospermum medulosum) and the improved availability of whitewood germplasm. Whitewood is a fast-growing hardwood species in the natural forest that is well suited to plantation and agroforestry situations, and is able to survive cyclones without major damage. Improved knowledge of whitewood silviculture should enhance the benefits to both the landowners who grow the trees and the processing industries that will utilise them. This special issue of International Forestry Review deals with a diverse series of insights derived from these ACIAR projects in Vanuatu, covering the constraints, establishment, silviculture, genetics and marketing opportunities.

Growing healthy sweetpotato: best practices for producing planting material
Publication Code:
MN153
Price:
$65.00
Sweetpotato is a major food crop in Papua New Guinea, with about 2.9 million tonnes grown each year. But sweetpotato is prone to pests and diseases, particularly viruses, which can significantly reduce yields. Because there are no varieties known to be resistant to viruses, the next best solution is to produce planting material that is free from infection, and to make this readily available to growers. This manual is aimed at researchers and technicians, and describes how to test for sweetpotato viruses and to keep vines free from infection.
